Tests From The Future

Hello, dear 23rd century listeners! Here's your weekly podcast from the 21st century. This week we'll tell you all about how our day was. Spoiler; it involved Facebook, the Apple Store and Game of Thrones. And then we answer all your questions about 21st century food. Yes, a steak is made of a real dead animal. But no, a shepherd's pie doesn't have any real shepherd in it. Also, we explain when 21st century people manage to have a little fun. See you in 200 years!

Nature doesn't traditionally speak for itself, so who takes its side when big decisions are made? Well… the future also found a solution for that! Say hello to the Voice of Nature. Every company and organisation has one and they have real power, not like those ethics councils! This episode isn't just about the VONs though. During the recording, we actually have somebody giving us podcasting tips and we feel all professional about it.

66G rolled out not too long ago, and with it came many new possibilities. One of the most interesting ones is the possibility to talk directly to the afterlife. How did we handle things before? You'll find out during this episode. What are some of the remaining challenges? You'll also find that out. What did we learn about the afterlife so far? You'll kind of find out. And how does it work exactly? Well… we sort of skip over that. On the other hand, there's a robot joke at the end!

Do you know those apartments that are really high up in a tree? Where waterfalls flow down and drones fly up? Where there are not just bathrobes in the closets, but also squirrel suits? Where other guests walk their dogs on your balcony? If you answered yes to all of those questions, you might want to consider skipping this episode. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the show!

And there we were, thinking that our alien friends, the Luminati, were sooo perfect. As it turns out, they have been stealing our salt water all this time! As a souvenir, no less! Apparently having a planet full of salty water is pretty rare, galactically speaking. How did it get that far? How did they even do it? And has it really been three years since our first episode reached the 21st century? You'll learn all those things in this episode.

We visited a pretty rare location; a place where archeologists have unearthed a 21st century neighbourhood, where there's a museum that displays typical artifacts from the time. Sometimes there were information labels and sometimes we guessed what was going on. Did those chicken bones in the rubbish bin really mean 21st century people ate actual chickens? How did they keep their precious asphalt from deteriorating? And what was up with all those bottle caps?

Oh no! Against all expectations, fast space travel is getting delayed. As it turns out, we are missing one essential component, and it's nowhere to be found in our solar system. Before we figure out how to deal with that, project members are fired, new timelines are agreed on, and costs explode. In the meantime, if any of our listeners know how to get their hands on some good old fashioned hypogastrium, please let us know.

Remember 'The Greatest Discovery' as detailed in episode 145? It wasn't aliens, America, or even peanut butter and jam sandwiches; rather it was when the Fairy Tale Folk were discovered in the Caucasus, seven years ago. Since we received many questions about these people, we decided to dedicate a full episode to this discovery. Do you want to know how they got there? Why we only discovered them so late? If they use teleporters? What kind of music Hobbits like? We've got you covered.
